That’s exactly where we used to eat and very reasonably priced by Barca standards.

The city is full of Gaudi’s work including the cathedral  and the lampposts in Placa Reial. Park Guell and Casa mila where there are no straight lines - a remarkable place.

We went in October for my 50th birthday (probably my 5th time there in 20yrs?) and to see the current state of la Sagrada Famila was amazing. I almost don't want them to ever finish it! We made a beeline for Parc Guell as never been before, beautiful place. We weren't that far from the SF so an early morning 5k run at around 7am (still pretty much pitch black) each day before the pavements got too busy was a no brainer. Definitely one of my favourite places ever.

Thinking of taking a short trip in May. Any must sees, places to visit or recommendations ?
Is the beach area or Town better to stay ?  

Any ideas would be appreciated .

I don't think it's been mentioned but Placa Reial, just off la Rambla (nearest metro: Liceu) is a great picturesque little square with restaurants/cafes/bars aplenty, lovely tall palm trees & great for a spot of people watching whilst sipping a cold cerveza.

San Sebastian...just knock yourself out with Pintxos and visit nearby Bilbao.

 

Big thumbs up from me for both. 

Disgraceful behaviour.

We're 4th as it stands. Newcastle are poor but we are playing some sublime rugby

That was an absolute dream to watch. 3 tries in the first 9 minutes set the tone for the rest of the game, on that sort of form (yes, I know it was only Newcastle) you'd fancy us to beat anyone. Great afternoon in a sunny BS3. 

Remaining league games: 

Tigers (a) 27/04

The Cheats Sarries (h) 11/05

Quins (a) 18/05

Yep, story I have been told since was they spent the majority of the time between the Portsmouth & Notts County games in the Baccy Jar in Whitchurch..

It seems to be a lottery

At least with a normal lottery you have a chance of bloody winning!

South Stand.

Gonna miss you and Gus. Will have to make a trip or two to the Scotia for a pre-game beer.

Not accepting card payments online. Usual farce with Word Pay / Bristol Sport. If you are leaving to the last minute to renew, think again. You might have to use the phone, which is not quick.

Did mine online with card about 10 mins ago, no issues here (apart from chucking good money after bad, of course!) 

I blame Matt le Tissier

Anyone who doesn’t think “Drink up thee cider” is one of the greatest songs written is:

1) not from the West Country 

2) weird.

C'mon Graham you should know better than that, the correct spelling of course being "Drink up thy Zider"

Looking forward to seeing them Saturday as this weird season finally comes to an end. 

The successor restaurant to Al's Tikka Grill is now open in what was Ashton Plate just next to the Coopers on Ashton Road - now named Ali's Curry Palace. 

Went there Saturday after the Huddersfield game and it's up to it's usual standards, BYO too so good value night out. Book on 0117-985-5164

I'm a fan, I think they're great. 

Speaking to a mate that works for them and they'll have nearly 300 sites by the end of the year. They've opened 36 venues this financial year alone. 

Yup. Big fan of the original on North St. I do wonder though wether they’ve overstretched themselves in their seemingly relentless expansions.

How does the rugby have anything to do with Jon?

He’s on the board of directors. 

As is usual for the shambles that is Bristol Sport the season tickets for the family areas were on sale from at least 1145 (I know, as i logged on easily that early) today and so I’d imagine a lot of the “prime” seats got snapped up before most people had even logged on at midday. 
 

Not only is the decision shite but it’s not even a level playing field when it comes to buying tickets! 
 

But Jon won’t care. 

I’ve tweeted the club but guess what, nothing. What’s mental is that this is the 3rd iteration of a “family stand” in about 7 years! Started off in Dolman wings next to SS then Upper Lansdown and now the South Stand. It’s a bloody shambles.

Max had been far and away our best player this season, another top performance today,

Amazing that some still don't rate him don't think there are many better keepers in the championship at the moment,

I think it’s one of those where he was “trusted” and you could see his development was always going to be bumpy, especially as we’re in the brutal environment of the championship. And he’s proved that he’s more than capable. 
 

Very well done Max. COYR.

Leicester will get a 4 point deduction next season,

But they'll be sure to get a 3 point addition tomorrow!

I’d understand if it was our kit, but it isn’t. Make yourselves a cup of tea. Maybe have a custard cream, and take 10 minutes out. 
 

In through the nose, out through the mouth. Is there really any need for this outrage?

That is no way to consume a Custard Cream

Strange that when it gets to match day he never actually gets on the pitch..

Yeah, it's almost as if he's shite and we know we've made a huge mistake but can't quite bring ourselves to admit it. . . 

Already shared on facebook, can't even begin to think how the family are feeling after nearly a month of the poor lad going missing. 

Hoping for the best.
